… and on and on it goes.
i agree with all who say the stig is not MS. TG needed to create a driver that would be constant and dependable, infact the stig is an enigma that can be anyone, any gender and test drive any vehicle. being the enigma he is,(aside from his “some say ..” peculiarities) he is the best driver in the world. there u have it.

I dont see any reason to why it couldn’t be mike.. All of you that are so certain of that it isn’t mike have no valid proof/opinion of that.. however all of the arguments that were mencioned here could be true or not.
Why couldn’t it be possible that mike is part of this show as a hobby or something that Is just fun for him..

Yeah, he clearly walks differently than the stig on every other episode. I think they had Michael Schumacher invited (and pretended to be the stig) since he probably was driving the Ferrari. He works for ferrari as an advisor and ocasionaly test drives their cars. And since Jeremy said that none of the Fxx ferraris was allowed out of Ferrari’s track i guess they would only lend this Ferrari to top gear with Michael as the driver.
Great show though!!
Hope the season rocks!!!

It was just a stunt, and looks like it worked out rather well for them! Bet the ratings went through the roof. Having said that I thought Schuey was great – very witty. Nice to see a side of him you don’t often get to witness.

And no Brian, The Stig won’t be angry that Schuey impersonated him. That would require emotion, and The Stig doesn’t ‘do’ emotion !

Wasn’t it heikki Kovalainen that drove the Renault F1 car round the track in less than a minute??

That was cool!

I have a feeling that we will see the real stig in the next episode, but he will do something to show he is angry at TG for replacing him that episode and mystery will be re-newed.
It is also possible that he someone they found that is really good, but didn’t want to be pro so he took this job instead. It probably is someone we have never heard of.
Chances are he is from Finland and a former Rally Car or Touring car driver. The Finnish have an abundance of good drivers.
At first as he was taking off the helmet and i saw the bottom of the face I thought it was Ralf S. but it wasn’t.

point out that the Caparo T1 did a similar time (to within a few tenths) but it was disallowed on the grounds that it can’t clear a speed hump.

And the Harrier Jump Jet did it in 36 seconds, even though it can clear speed humps by a huge ammount it was still dissallowed. I call SHENANIGANS!

Nothing rhymes with silver either (to the best of my knowledge).

I hope Michael is the Stig, and I hope he’ll swap places with Kimi tomorrow

The timing of this is interesting. Why now? Is it because people have hit the nail on the head and got Stigs identity correct? I think TG have shot themselves in the foot and accidentally confirmed The Stigs identity. Incidentally, no mention of The Stig in the preview of the second show.

Well i was disappointed in the beginning when they said who was the stig… but it is not Michael Schumache already at the test drive he was not wearing the suit properly…but apart from that my guess is ferrari didn’t want the real stig to drive the FXX and only Michael Schumache was allowed so he acted like the stig…its not the first time a company didn’t let the real stig drive a car.

the only reason schumacher is the stig is they will not allow anyone but ms and owners to drive them 1 million pounds each would you ?

Wait, ignore that, i think i’ve been caught out by the order comments appear after they’ve been posted.

I thought you were replying to ‘Michael’, whereas i’m guessing you’re replying to someone else…

Sorry if that’s the case.
